Greek engineer and designer. Yes, I will eventually bring up the food, the weather and how things were better back in Athens.
I build ambient, personalized AI products that respect how people actually think, which is more than I can say for most of my browser tabs.
- 🧪 Visiting student researcher at MIT Media Lab (Cyborg Psychology group), working on Personal Intelligence. Yes, the AI is supposed to be the smart one here.
- 👨🏻🎨 Product design & development at CALT, a social recommender app for discovering cultural events, because "what should we do this weekend?" deserves a better answer than "I don't know, what do you want to do?"
- 🎓 Second Master's at Elisava (Barcelona) in Human & AI Interaction. Two engineering degrees weren't enough, apparently.
- 🏛️ BSc + MEng in ECE at NTUA, majoring in Software Engineering
- 🛠️ Scalable systems on one side, UI/UX on the other, and a constant effort to keep them on speaking terms
- 🔭 Rabbit holes of choice: IoT, cognitive science, social networks, personalization and AI
Good software should feel obvious. If you need a manual, I either failed or you are reading this README. Both are possible.
